Strategic Market Planning
Back to the Basics. What is it?
A strategic marketing plan defines what products or services should be developed, how they are priced, what methods are used to promote them and how they are delivered to the customer. It's more than simply producing a sales forecast and setting a budget. It will:
  • Identify a range of options for the business
  • Make them explicit in writing
  • Formulate marketing objectives which are consistent with the business's overall objective
  • Schedule and cost specific activities most likely to achieve those objectives
Define the Benefits
A Strategic Marketing plan ensures:
  • Coordinated activities of individuals who interact within the business
  • Identification of expected or unexpected developments
  • An ability and a means to deal rationally with these situations
  • An ability to respond to changes when they occur
  • Better communications, especially amongst senior management
  • Minimisation of conflict
  • Business goals are not subordinated by individual goals
